This is the Cedar Bluff location on this visit. I ordered lunch for my mother's birthday as a to go order. I live only 8 minutes away so I gave it 5 minutes and then left. My order was already being packaged up as I walked in. I was greeted by at least four people to make sure I was... More

Was a little unsure of stopping so close to the interstate, next to gas stations...but, this not so out of the way restaurant has AMAZING Italian food. This is the second my friends and I have stopped in, I ordered the eggplant parmesan, and when the food arrived as usual we tasted everything on the table. Everything was wonderful, but... More

Puleos has a diverse menu with something to please everyone. Their fried green tomatos over cheese grits are the best I have ever eaten! Staff is always polite and attentive.

Great restaurant, excellent staff! Wow, after ten hours of driving, we were so happy to finally be checked into our hotel and to have a restaurant right down the street that was so awesome! Our waiter appeared to be sympathetic to our "exhaustion" and was absolutely the best in providing drinks and food quickly, and recommended some of the food... More

Puelo's food is consistently good along with the service. My friends and I like to meet there for lunch - have a super lunch menu with prices as low as $5 - better deal than a fast food and much better quality!

I honestly can't believe this place is even ranked. I suppose it's because most Americans have grown accustom to eating non-healthy, greasy processed foods loaded with additives and sodium. This place is so typical of that. Due to it's convenient location, I've been here several times with family/friends but either opted for just a salad or nothing at all. The... More

We had a large party with us. The service was ok as the boy was doing his best and messed up on 4 of the 10 orders. The food was not good. The salads were swimming in dressing and an extremely amount of dressing. I am a feta cheese lover but could not eat most of my salad due to... More

Was staying overnight in the area and the hotel recommended this place. We were there late on a weeknight and loved it. My wife and I split a meal and had a drink. The wedge salad was excellent as was the flatbread pizza. I know it was close to closing time, but the whole staff was very friendly and we... More

My wife and I use to go all the time, but our last visit the waitress forgot my salad and refused to take it off the price! She said we could get it to go only. No exceptions! we were disappointed. We get better service at Macdonalds. The food was good as always, but the salad the next day sucked... More
